    Firearms licence waiting times

    How long is it taking to get your licence renewed from the time you apply till the time you have received it in the mail?
    I have applied for mine first week of January and went through all the process of renewal but still no sign. It expired mid April.
    Save our Tahr. They belong in the southern alps.

    took mine 4 months last year, you might want to chase them up. I moved house and told them for the new inspection. a year later no inspection. They had basically lost my notification and forgotten about it.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    My son applied for his licence 18 months ago.
    The holdup was the printing of the licence.
    Our AO gave us the licence number to use before tbe licence arrived.
    When the licence finally arrived it had to be replaced as it missed a middle name from it.

    Been waiting about 5 weeks for mine. Not here yet.. Is it worthwhile to call my local AO and ask for a firearms license #? Or am I dreaming here?
    By law, you are required to turn on your headlights if it's raining in Sweden.

    How the hell am I supposed to know if it's raining in Sweden?

    Listening to customers it seems to vary between 8-12 weeks, if it's approved and awaiting printing our local FAO allows us to ring to arrange ammo sales.

    Hunting is relaxing just like Yoga except I get to kill something.
    If it Flies it dies and if it hops it drops.

    Okay so once my license is approved I may be able to purchase a gun? With the AO'S permission and a written order or something like that ofc.. Or is that impossible? Cheers
